The Singapore Grand Prix will remain on the Formula One calendar until at least 2028, the sport and race organisers said on Thursday after agreeing on a fresh seven-year deal.

The event, which was cancelled for the past two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic, is set to take place on October 2 as part of a record 23-race calendar this year. It will be the first grand prix under the new seven-year deal.

"The Marina Bay street circuit hosted the first night race in F1 history in 2008 and Singapore has continued to thrill fans, teams and drivers ever since." The race is staged in the heart of the city-state, with cars driving around a floodlit street track against a backdrop of glittering skyscrapers while spectators are entertained by headline music acts.The race has generated more than S$1.5bn

The 2019 race, won by four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel for Ferrari, drew a crowd of about 268,000 over the weekend, the event's second highest.
